Frank Auerbach, Kindertransport refugee and major British artist, dies at 93

Frank Auerbach, one of the 10,000 child refugees on the famous Kindertransport from Nazi Germany to Britain and an influential post-war British artist, has died. He was 93.

Both of Auerbach's parents stayed behind in Germany and were murdered in the Holocaust.

A figurative painter who focused on urban scenes in London and specific portraits, he was close to two other Anglo-Jewish painters, Leon Bomberg and Leon Kossoff, according to the Jewish Chronicle.

His work has been displayed around the world, including in the Israel Museum.

He leaves behind a son.
